The 52mm Soqi conventional fork is fully adjustable and has a titanium oxide coating. Six-pot radial-mount calipers are borrowed from the R1 and grab wave-type 320mm rotors. The master cylinder is a radial-pump unit, and the ABS uses the same parts found in the FJR1300. Bridgestone BT-028 tires are sportbike wide but 18-inch rather than 17, and were designed specifically for the V-Max.
